Time to come with one of the finest artists not just from the UK, but worldwide, at a seminal venue 32 years ago:
This is the great Andrew Weatherall (RIP) @ Orbit, Morley, 12.06.93
Just a wonderful mix, but when was it ever not from Mr Weatherall? The man had such a feel for music, groove, rhythm. Outstanding talent.
Reminder that all mixes uploaded here today go on my Kofi for download tonight.

Why does the BBC Four music trailer show Suggs / Madness in it, when the appearance is from before BBC2 HD ever existed (it was on a test HD channel than virtually nobody could watch), and was a special for the closure of BBC TV Centre (never repeated)? #TOTP

The Brian May Band performing "Since You've Been Gone" by Rainbow live at The Brixton Academy, 1993.
“Touring as a front man, following Freddie’s passing, I was in complete denial of Queen, and regarded my new band as my future.
I was blessed with the massive support of the late great Cozy Powell on drums. Here we see Cozy in fabulous form.
Of course, when Ritchie Blackmore’s band, Rainbow, recorded the monumental version of this song that charted in 1979, Cozy had been the drummer, and for me, covering this track live was a kind of homage to Cozy.
The vocal is almost impossibly rangey, and I made it a personal crusade to work on my voice, extending my range so I could sing it. The band was a dream outfit for me … with already legendary heavy rock stalwart Neil Murray on bass, who had worked with Cozy (and my friend Tony Iommi) in one of the incarnations of Black Sabbath, long-time Queen collaborator Spike Edney on keys, newly recruited Jamie Moses on guitar, who remains a great friend to this day, and two stunning backing vocalists, Catherine Porter and Shelley Preston.
It actually gives me a chill up the spine to see this outfit in full flight, as clear and bright as if ‘twere yesterday” - Brian May
